To night I do the bidding of a ghost	A
A ghost that knows my misery	B
In the lone dark I hear his wailing boast	A
Now shalt thou speak with me	B
	-
Must I go back where all is desolate	C
Where reigns the terror of a curse	D
To knock a beggar at my father's gate	E
That closed upon a hearse	D
	-
The old stone pier has crumbled in the sea	B
The tide flows through the garden wall	F
Where grew the lily and where hummed the bee	B
Black seaweeds rise and fall	F
	-
I see the empty nests beneath the eaves	G
No bird is near the vines have died	H
The orchard trees have lost the joy of leaves	G
The oaks their lordly pride	H
	-
Of what avail to set ajar the door	I
Through which when ruin fell I fled	J
If on the threshold I should stand once more	I
Shall I behold the dead	J
	-
Shall I behold as on that fatal night	K
My mother from the window start	L
When she was blasted by the evil sight	K
The shame that broke her heart	L
	-
The yellow grass grows on my sister's grave	M
Her room is dark she is not there	N
I feel the rain and hear the wild wind rave	M
My tears and my despair	N
	-
A white haired man is singing a sad song	O
Amid the ashes on the hearth	P
Ashes to ashes I have moaned so long	O
I am alone on earth	Q
	-
No more no more I cannot bear this pain	R
Shut the foul annals of my race	S
Accursed the hand that opens them again	T
My dowry of disgrace	S
	-
And so farewell thou bitter bitter ghost	A
When morning comes the shadows fly	U
Before we part I give this merry toast	A
The dead that do not die	U
